Hello all Mindstorms fans! I have a few questions regarding Robotic Sumo (Lego Mindstorms Robotic Sumo that is). I have gotten interested in Robotic Sumo and would like to learn a few more things about it. I would also like to know if everyone does the same thing for certain aspects of the game (rules, playing ground design, etc.) or if everyone has their own way. First, how large is the playing ground that the Sumo-Bots participate in? I have seen a Mini-Sumo playing ground and that one looked smaller than the RIS test pad! What I am talking about is real Robotic Sumo (anything from fast moving little bots to monstrous seven motor Sumo-Bots). How big would a playing ground (arena, pad, whatever you call it) be for Mindstorms Sumo-Bots? Five feet long? Five feet Wide? Also, how thick would the line encircling the playing ground be? Two inches? Five? I have heard of eight inches being a good amount. Any information would be greatly appreciated! David Perdue www.geocities.com/imroboguy
